Extreme Close-Up: The extreme close-up shot is traditionally used in film to allow
the viewer to enter the character's intimate space, revealing certain characteristics
and emotions that would otherwise go unnoticed from afar.
Long shot: A view of a scene that is shot from a considerable distance, so that
people appear as indistinct shapes.
Extreme long shot: An extreme long shot is a view from an even greater distance,
in which people appear as small dots in the landscape if at all (e.g. a shot of New
York's skyline).
Mise en scene: The arrangement of the scenery, props, etc. on the stage of a
theatrical production or on the set of a film.
Match on action: Cutting on action or matching on action refers to film editing and
video editing techniques where the editor cuts from one shot to another view that
matches the first shot's action. A common example is a man walking up to a door
and reaching for the knob.
Parallel editing: Parallel editing (cross cutting) is the technique of alternating two or
more scenes that often happen simultaneously but in different locations. If the
scenes are simultaneous, they occasionally culminate in a single place, where the
relevant parties confront each other.
180° rule: The 180-degree rule is a cinematography guideline that states that two
characters in a scene should maintain the same left/right relationship to one another.
When the camera passes over the invisible axis connecting the two subjects, it is
called crossing the line and the shot becomes what is called a reverse angle
Montage: the technique of selecting, editing, and piecing together separate sections of film
to form a continuous whole. A montage is a long clip of the movie shorted down into a few
seconds of what’s going on.
